The Powers of Pesto

Of all the pasta sauces to chose from, I always stick with my favorite - PESTO! I used to be concerned that I was adding too much fat to my pasta dishes, but then I learned of all the health benefits of this delicious basil sauce. The majority of fat in pesto is monounsaturated (the good kind) and ALL of its ingredients have many health benefits!

Basil * Contains flavonoids that protect cells from radiation and oxidative damage * Wards off unwanted bacteria * Has anti-inflammatory properties * Serves as a good source of iron, calcium and vitamin A

One time when we were making huge batches of pasta with pesto for one of Sally Crowell's CHAW fundraisers, she gave me a receipe that "supplemented" the basil with fresh parsley that was much cheaper. (Parsley is good for you too; ao when the budget is tight and parsley is cheaper.... try it.) Mom.
